This monolithic Stonehenge of towering shell-encrusted limestone stands silent, solid, acting as a majestic gateway between the Town (Lady Bird) Lake and Boggy Creek Hike & Bike Trails. Its subtle features are worth a pause for a breather and contemplation.Otherwise, you might not notice the eerie row of marbles caught like the doomed of Pompeii in one of the concrete seams between two of the five angular cut boulders (Upper inside of arch)

You might also miss the most impressive main feature: a carved relief on the keystone. Three (3) profiles: ancient warrior, European explorer, and modern dude, replete with headband and shades, together looking towards three symbols: a pre-invasion pyramid, the State of Texas, and the United Farm Workers eagle. A fantastically breathtaking work of art.
